CHILDS PISTOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 787,844, dated April18, 1905.

Application filed December 1,1904. Serial No. 235,051.

To all lr/wm fr 'IIL/Lj/ concern:

Be it known that I, H EINRICII KAISERJIHUIU- facturer, of Hilden,Rhineland, in the German Empire, have invented a new and useful GhildsPistol, of which the following; is a specilication.

My invention relates to improvements in childrens pistols in which astopper is pressed into the end of the pistol-barrel, which then can beshot out by air-pressure.

My improvements essentially consist therein that the air-pressure pistonwhich is actuated directly by the trigger is tightened in its chamber bya rubber pipe. The one end of the latter is fastened to the piston andthe other to the chamber-wall. By this arrangement the piston has aslight range of motion. It is pressed back automatically by a spring.The pistol-trigger forms a lever one arm of which moves the piston,while the other projects outward and serves as the trigger proper.

The object of my invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings,in which- Figure 1 shows the pistol in vertical section, its pistonbeing in rest. Fig. 2 shows the same section, but the piston being inactuation.

The pistol essentially consists of the handle a, the piston I), thetrigger c, the pistonchamber (l, and the barrel e. The piston-chamber isformed by a cylinder of large diameter. The same is fastened to thehandle a by a drum f. The piston I) is guided within the chamber. Thepiston is in connection with the chamber by a rubber pipe At theforemost end of the piston a groove is provided around its circumferenceand a projecting shoulder is arranged in the piston-chamber 1!. Therubber pipe 1 is fastened to the chamber-wall and the piston by wirewound around the ends of the same at the points of attachment. Thepiston 7) is provided at the trigger end with a central projection /1.,which passes through the wall of the drum f. \Yithin the handle I of thepistol a lever c is pivoted. The end extending outward serves as triggerand the other end works against the DIOJQCtlOD A.

A spring 27 is inserted between the front side of the piston 7) and thechamber-wall. This presses the piston against the opposite wall of thechamber (1.

In use the barrel 0 is closed by a stopper Z. \V hen now the trigger isstrongly drawn back, the piston is thereby moved forward and the airwithin the chamber (7 is compressed, whereby the stopper A will bepushed out and a detonation will be caused.

Having now described the nature of my invention, what 1 claim is- 1. Ina childs pistol the combination of a handle, an air-chamber fastened tothe same, a barrel extending from the front side of the air-chamber, apiston guided within the latter, a rubber pipe one end of which isfastened to the air-chamber and the other end to the piston, a springpushing the piston back and a trigger pivoted in the handle whichactuates the piston, as and for the purpose specilied.

2. In a childs pistol the combination of a handle, a cylindrical drumfastened to the same, an air-chamber arranged within said drum, a barrelextending from the front side of the air-chamber, a piston guided withinthe latter, a rubber pipe one end of which is fastened to the airchaml.er and the other end to the piston, a spring pushing the piston back anda trigger pivoted in the handle which actuates the piston, as and forthe purpose specified.
